I don't fully understand what the firmware is supposed to do. The release notes say, "Resolution of the still image has been improved at using the “MECHANICAL SHUTTER” or “E-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER” in on the specific conditions."

I'm interpreting that as, "Resolution of the still image has been improved when using 'MECHANICAL SHUTTER' or 'E-FRONT CURTAIN SHUTTER'." So... maybe some kind of OIS improvement that can deal with shutter shock? I don't think the lens knows what shutter option has been chosen.

Presumably it doesn't care - does the same thing regardless of shutter type - but only noticeable with some sort of mechanical shutter?

I wonder if Fuji finally noticed, fixed or at least improved the 18-55 issue where occasional shots are slightly out of focus for no obvious reason.    I've had this issue and many others on the forum have over the years.
